Hale87 I am assuming it is the stainless laminated stock model you own. If the gun shot under an 1" groups at the beginning and with the same load shoots 1 1/2 in groups something has changed. It could be the bedding pressure, stock movement or it could be a very coppered barrel or it could be your scope. Unfortunately the "Gunsmith" you took it to changed the characteristics of the gun that once shot under 1" groups . That sometimes happens when gunsmiths float barrels and do other things to a perfectly sound rifle. I have to grimace most times when someone here mentions pillar bedding and floating a barrel...that is an early retirement package for most gunsmiths and is really not needed. That said purchase a Outers Foul Out III and really get the " copper " out, send the scope back to Leupold and have it checked out ...the bore may be rough but after shooting it as much as you did it has smoothed up and even when it was rough it was a under 1" shooter. Hope that helps and you may want to find a gunsmith that doesn't jump to conclusions as fast as this guy did.
